Gas in Gardening.


To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
Among all the different ways suggested to util-
ize the natural gas but little has been said in
favor of using it in connection with market
gardening A large part Of the agri-
cultural gas belt could be used in
this way to the great benefit of the opera
tor and the accommodation of thousands who are
not SO favorably situated. With the amount of
'boring machinery" now being made gas wells
will be sunk before the close of 1887 for $500 or
less, exclusive of the piping. This will bring
heat at such a small cost that the belt gar
deners can laugh at their Southern competitors
and place their products the
market at any season of the year. At
this writing this seems to me to be
the way for many people with small capital to
start on the royal road to fortune. At least
am SO sanguine of success that I would gladly
invest in such enterprise believing chat larger
returns can be realized in this way than any
other, and at the same time much good can be
accomplished by giving the people fresh vege-
tables every day in the year.

Wasted Food.

American Poultry Yard.
There are two ways of wasting feed while
keeping fowls One way is to feed them very
grudgingly-just enough to keep the lamp Of
life burning. In this case the food is devoured,
but there is gain in flesh eggs; there is
shvering of frame and shrinking of form, SO
that the food consumed is only wasted.
The other method of wasting feed is by Civ
ing too much-more than is necessary for q
thriving condition. We do not speak of fowls
that are under the process of fattenlng for the
market, or of growing chickens, but of
flocks of poultry kept for laying and
breeding. Fowls that are over-fed-stuffed con-
tnualy, from the beginning of winter onward
will stand about, istless or Sit on their perches
in half asleep condition, and a certain proper
ton of the food consumed is wasted.
Fowls should be fed such quantity that they
will always be alert, not fed to safety. They
ought to 60 about searching for more after de-
vourine their meal. If running at large, they
should have just discomfort enough to make
them go in quest of something: if confined, to
make them resort to the straw or leaves in the
poultry house, peradventure they may find one
more kernel Of grain. This condition is one OF
health. and tends to laying

INDIANAPOLIS, April Is.
Wholesale men are patiently awaiting the
coming Of genuine summer weather, with which
there will doubtless come brisk trade, as the
conditions, aside from the weather, could not
we'll be more favorable. No speculative boom
is looked for, but strong, healthy volume of
traffic In all departments stocks are in good
shape, and there is. in most lines of goods a
steady, firm tone to prices Travelling sales
men report the merchants in the cities and
larger towns which purchase their supplies
from this commercial center to be in good
shape financially, and disposed to purchase
freely the goods that are likely to meet with
a ready sale. In the dry goods line buyers are
more liberal in their views, and stock up with
more freedom than in any spring for some
years past. They feel that they can safely do
this. as prices rule steady and are likely to
60 higher rather than lower. Grocers re-
port that most Of their patrons still
pursue the hand-to mouth policy of buying,
feeling that some staple articles will in due time
range lower in price. and this unsettles them in
their views; but it should be borne in mind that
some staple articles for three years past have
been selling exceedingly low. Sugar, for in
stance, never DolOre was SOlQ as low as IN the
last ten months. Foreign fruits and canned
goods have been selling at low figures for many
months Coffee, however, is the uncertain
quantity, and this article cuts an important
figure in the trade of the grocer of this and ad-
joining States. Provisions rule steady; except
ing in iobbine way trade is light. The produce
markets have been little sluggish for day or

nails are now sold in this market, as the steel

Philadelphia Record: In sowing clover for
pasture it is desirable to mix the Alsike, red
and white clovers, and the kind best adapted to
the land will probably take possession in a few
years. A variety of grasses is always desirable
in pasture. Some farmers who have plenty of
pasture land are adopting the plan of sowing the
seeds of timothy, blue grass. orchard grass and
the different clovers separately. giving each kind
its OWE space. SO as to permit the cows to select
the grasses preferred. It has been demonstrated
that each individual will prefer certain grasses,
and that the herd will separate over the entire
